Okay, so they make a legit locker for the Dana 61, that's cool!

Hooooooowever, I'm cheap, so I'd prefer the Lock-rite. I've installed several of these in Jeep Dana 35's and a few Dana 44's and they work pretty trick. I don't know if I'm convinced that the Dana 60 version will work in the carrier I have, but I'm going to pull the spiders when I get ready to put in the 4.10's and match them to a set out of a Dana 60 so see if everything is the same. If so, then I'll order up a Lock-rite and give it a try.

Thanks for all the info guys!

 

My 74 Dodge offroad truck has a pair of dana 60's both with detroit lockers.I drive it on the street and in bad weather when locked in it is a handful to drive.But off road its totally worth it! On a dual purpose truck I would look into a selectible locker like an ARB.

 

Yes, the ultimate would be a selectable locker, but I'm on a budget and only "plan" on using 4 wheel drive when things get REALLY bad in which an automatic locker will suffice. All I know is that this beast sinks like the Titanic in the mud and a locked front would be nice at times...

 

i had a lock right locker in the back of my f150 for about a mounth before all the splines ripped off. my friend did the same thing in his comanchee, so i would recomend a real locker

 

The front locker was the best thing that I have ever done to my off road truck. But it has broken one outer axle shaft while rock crawling. The day I installed the locker we took it to my favorite mud hole and broke both lock out hubs. I guess it's time for 35 spline outer's and drive flanges.
